One sword shatters ten thousand fortresses! Black Stone Pass, crumbles!

"Boom—!!!"

Gru's rock body, nearly a thousand meters high, collapsed with a crash. The energy ripples it stirred in the sea of stars even sent several damaged frigates nearby flying.

But before the people on the bridge of the dragon charger could recover from the shock of this instant kill, Lin Yuan's voice rang out again. It was still calm, yet carried an unquestionable authority:

"Full speed, charge the pass."

As his voice fell, he had already stood up.

The hem of his black combat uniform, which had been casually draped over the back of the chair, rose slightly in the invisible air currents. His deep eyes looked out of the porthole.

His gaze seemed to have already pierced through three hundred light-seconds to Black Stone Pass, known as the "Number One Stronghold of the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield."

Qin Pojun suddenly snapped back to his senses and shouted an order: "Pass the command! All warships, follow the flagship closely! Charge the main cannons! Target—the gate of Black Stone Pass!"

"Yes!"

The communications officer's roar carried a trembling excitement, spreading throughout the entire Central Route Army fleet.

In the next second, the engines of thousands of warships simultaneously erupted with brilliant blue light.

The entire steel torrent seemed to be injected with a Soul, its speed soaring again, turning into a silver-white rainbow that pierced through the sea of stars, charging straight toward Black Stone Pass!

Meanwhile, at Black Stone Pass, alarms had long been blaring.

On the city walls, tens of thousands of Blackstone Clan warriors held rock spears. The gravity generators on their backs hummed, twisting the surrounding space into eerie curves.

"Report! The vanguard has been completely wiped out! Leader Gru... has fallen!"

A Blackstone Clan scout rushed into the command tower, crawling and stumbling, his voice filled with unprecedented Fear.

In the center of the command tower, a Blackstone Clan giant three times larger than Gru shuddered.

He was "Blackstone King" Karon, the Dominator of the entire Black Stone Pass. His strength had reached the Peak of the Origin Gathering Realm, and the gravity field surrounding him was enough to crush ordinary warships directly into iron pancakes.

"Fallen?" Karon's voice sounded like grinding boulders, filled with unbelievable Rage. "Just a group of insects! How could Gru possibly fall?!"

"It was... a grey-gold light!" The scout's voice carried a sob. "That light was too fast! Leader Gru didn't even have time to react before his core was... was pierced through!"

"Light?"

Karon's brow furrowed, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

He turned abruptly.

Looking at the rapidly approaching human fleet on the energy screen, his pupils suddenly contracted when he saw the leading dragon charger. "People from Dragon Xia Kingdom? No... how do they dare to charge over so quickly?"

Just then, a Blackstone Clan warrior responsible for monitoring the gravity field cried out in alarm: "King! This is bad! The human fleet... they aren't slowing down! They're going to crash straight into us!"

"Crash into us?" Karon was stunned at first, then erupted into ear-splitting wild laughter. "Hahaha! Foolish humans! Do they think they can crash through the walls of my Black Stone Pass with the iron skin of their warships? Activate 'Earth Guardian'! Let them taste what a true iron wall is!"

"Yes!"

Following Karon's command, all the runes on the walls of Black Stone Pass lit up simultaneously. Earth-yellow light converged into a massive light shield that enveloped the entire fortress.

Above the light shield, countless rock phantoms appeared.

It was as if an entire continent were pressing down on it. The surrounding starry sky was distorted by this terrifying gravity field, forming rings of black ripples.

"They're here!"

On the bridge of the dragon charger, everyone held their breath.

Outside the porthole, that massive earth-yellow light shield drew closer and closer. Just looking at it made one feel as if their heart was about to be crushed.

Avrora clenched her fists tightly, her ice-blue eyes full of tension, while Agatha stared fixedly at Lin Yuan's back, her eyes filled with anticipation and trust.

Lin Yuan stood at the very front of the bridge, facing the gravity field that would make even Juyuan Realm experts tremble with Fear. His expression remained calm.

He slowly raised his right hand, fingers slightly spread. In the center of his palm, a wisp of grey-gold Sword Qi quietly condensed.

As soon as this wisp of Sword Qi appeared, the bridge of the entire dragon charger instantly fell silent.

The previously raging gravity field seemed to be frozen, the surrounding space no longer twisted, and even the roar of the engines became faint.

Everyone felt a terrifying pressure, far exceeding the gravity field of Black Stone Pass, emanating from Lin Yuan's palm.

That pressure was not aimed at the physical body but pierced straight through the Soul, as if it wanted to take the entire sea of stars into its control!

"This... what power is this?"

Qin Pojun stared with his single eye, his lips trembling slightly.

He could feel that the energy contained within this wisp of Sword Qi was more than a hundred times stronger than when Lin Yuan had killed Gru!

Lin Yuan ignored the shock of the crowd. His gaze locked onto the massive light shield of Black Stone Pass, and a cold arc curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Shatter... for me!"

As the words fell, it was like a thunderclap!

He abruptly swung his right hand!

Buzz—!!!

That wisp of grey-gold Sword Qi instantly surged!

It was no longer the hair-thin wisp it had been before, but had transformed into a ten-thousand-zhang-long brilliant sword rainbow!

Atop the sword rainbow, Primordial Qi flowed, radiating a supreme majesty that looked down upon the world.

Wherever it passed, space was forcibly torn into a pitch-black crack, and even the starlight was swallowed by this sword rainbow!

"What... what is that?!"

Inside the Black Stone Pass command tower, the smile on Karon's face instantly froze, his eyes filled with unprecedented Fear.

He could feel that the power contained within that sword rainbow was enough to completely crush the "Earth Guardian" he was so proud of!

"Quick! Strengthen the defenses! All warriors, inject your Origin power!"

Karon roared frantically, injecting all of his Peak Juyuan Realm power into the light shield.

The Blackstone Clan warriors on the walls also felt the threat of death and poured their Rock Origin into the light shield one after another.

For a moment, the earth-yellow light shield shone even brighter, and the rock phantoms on it became more solid, as if a real continent were blocking the way.

But all of this appeared pale and powerless before that ten-thousand-zhang sword rainbow.

"Boom—!!!!"

The sword rainbow and the light shield collided violently!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, but a sight even more terrifying than an explosion—

That "Earth Guardian" light shield, capable of withstanding a full-strength strike from a King-Sealing Expert, was instantly covered in spider-web-like cracks under the impact of the sword rainbow, like fragile glass!

"No! Impossible!" Karon let out a roar of despair as he watched helplessly as the sword rainbow pierced through the light shield with unstoppable force, slashing toward the walls of Black Stone Pass!

Pfft—!

A soft sound, yet like the death knell of the Grim Reaper, echoed throughout Black Stone Pass.

The ten-thousand-zhang sword rainbow slashed onto the wall. That thousand-meter-thick black rock wall was instantly cut with a massive gap, like butter being sliced by a hot knife!

Within the gap, the rock turned to dust, and together with the Blackstone Clan warriors on the wall, they were instantly turned to ashes under the residual power of the sword rainbow!

One sword!

Just one sword!

The defense of Black Stone Pass, known as the "Number One Stronghold of the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield," was completely pierced!

"Charge!!!"

On the bridge of the dragon charger, Qin Pojun was the first to react. He raised the war blade in his hand and let out an ear-splitting roar.

"Kill!!!"

The warship fleet of the Central Route Army was like a runaway horse, charging into Black Stone Pass through that massive gap.

The main cannons fired frantically, and countless energy beams poured down like a rainstorm, blowing the Blackstone Clan warriors on the walls to pieces.

Agatha piloted the glory federation, following closely behind.

She looked at the ten-thousand-zhang sword rainbow still floating in the starry sky, her eyes filled with fanatical worship.

She knew that this single strike was enough to be recorded in the annals of the Human Alliance!

And Lin Yuan did not stop after unleashing that sword strike. With a movement of his body, he disappeared directly from the bridge of the dragon charger. When he reappeared, he was already hovering over Black Stone Pass.

Below, Karon, leading thousands of Blackstone Clan elites, was frantically counter-attacking the human warships that had entered the pass.

Under Karon's leadership, these Blackstone Clan warriors formed a rock torrent. With every impact, they could smash a frigate to pieces.

"Human! You destroyed my city and killed my clansmen! I want you dead!"

Karon saw Lin Yuan hovering in mid-air, his eyes bloodshot.

He leaped violently, his nearly ten-thousand-meter-high body like a moving mountain, smashing down toward Lin Yuan.

The gravity field around him caused the surrounding space to collapse. Countless rock fragments, under the influence of the gravity field, turned into deadly cannonballs shooting toward Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan looked down at the charging Karon, his expression still calm. He slowly raised his right hand and made a grasping motion toward Karon.

Buzz—!

A pressure a hundred times more terrifying than Karon's gravity field instantly enveloped Karon's body.

Karon's mountain-like body, under this pressure, was actually caught by an invisible giant hand, coming to a dead stop in mid-air, unable to move!

"This... what power is this?"

Despair filled Karon's face.

He could feel the Rock Origin within his body rapidly draining away. Even his Peak Juyuan Realm power could not be mobilized in the slightest.

Lin Yuan didn't waste any words; he slightly pinched his fingers.

"Crack—!"

With a crisp sound, Karon's nearly ten-thousand-meter-high body was actually pinched into a mass of meat pulp under the gaze of countless Blackstone Clan warriors!

There was not even a shred of room for resistance!

"King!"

All the Blackstone Clan warriors let out wails of despair. They looked at the figure in mid-air who was like a deity, their hearts filled with Fear, and they no longer had the slightest Battle Intent.

Lin Yuan's gaze swept over the Blackstone Clan warriors below, his voice cold: "Those who surrender shall live. Those who resist shall die."

As his voice fell, some Blackstone Clan warriors directly threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground. Those who still put up a stubborn resistance were turned to ashes by a casual wave of Lin Yuan's hand.

The subsequent battle was without suspense.

Under Lin Yuan's deterrence, the resistance of Black Stone Pass collapsed instantly.

The human allied forces swept through like autumn leaves in the wind, eliminating all the Blackstone Clan warriors within the pass.

In the starry sky, wreckage of broken warships and corpses of the Blackstone Clan were everywhere, blood staining the entire starry sky red.

One sword's light chills fifty provinces, all races Fear and ghosts and gods grieve!

This is Lin Yuan!
